I think I put the noun in prep. owing to some confusion between prep. and dat. on this one.. Thanks for pointing that out, and especially the verb; I have to remember the clue in -лась / -лся about gender.

So thanks to your help I have two new ways to write this, I'm hoping at least one if not both or these are right:
a) Горный хребет растянулся через великих низменностях.
b) Горный хребет растянулся по большим низменностям.

I thought going to "cherez" from "po" might fix the problem as then I can use prepositional?? Thanks a lot for your help also
